The longtime home of the late playwright Edward Albee, a two-storey loft in a historic building in the Tribeca section of Manhattan, is "old school New York", said listing agent Tom Titone.
"It’s what you don’t see any more in New York — a 4,500-square-foot duplex loft with full roof rights in a building that’s mostly filled with artists," he said.
This is the first time the apartment has been listed for sale since Albee purchased it in 1977, soon after the six-storey rental building became a cooperative, Titone said. Albee, who died in 2016, had all of the top two floors, writes Bill Cary for Mansion Global.
